We do not encourage book banning nor censoring, but instead aim to help the adults in a child’s life make informed decisions about which content is appropriate for their child. This is why we have chosen not to include subjective analysis on books – our community simply identifies potentially offensive content and leaves it to you to decide whether or not it is age-appropriate for your child.
